Racism plays a pivotal role in national persecution by creating a foundation for discrimination and oppression. It serves as a tool for dividing societies based on race, enabling the majority group to exert power and control over minority groups. Racism facilitates the dehumanization of targeted racial or ethnic groups, enabling the dominant group to justify their mistreatment and persecution. Furthermore, racist ideologies and beliefs are often used as justification for discriminatory policies, restrictions, and even violence directed towards marginalized communities. Overall, racism serves as a catalyst and justification for national persecution, perpetuating systemic injustice and inequality.
